USAT: Titans Wire

Mar 27, 2022

The first few weeks of free agency have seen a ton of earth-shattering trades and signings, and the Tennessee Titans have gotten in on the fun, albeit to a lesser extent than some teams. - Tennessee’s biggest move of the offseason was its trade with the Los Angeles Rams, which saw the Titans give up a 2023 sixth-round pick for wide receiver Robert Woods. - After the first week of free agency and a bunch of huge trades, NFL.com’s Dan Hanzus posted an updated power rankings, where he placed Tennessee at No. 10, two spots lower than their previous ranking. - Here’s his take on the Titans’ offseason thus far, which includes a positive review of the Woods trade: - “The Julio Jones trade didn’t work out, but the Titans aren’t giving up in their quest to find a working complement to A.J. Brown. On Saturday, days after cutting ties with Jones after one disappointing season, Tennessee acquired wide receiver Robert Woods from the Rams for the meager cost of a sixth-round pick. Woods — currently recovering from a torn ACL — is a perfect fit for the Titans’ offense: a proven playmaker who thrives as a receiver and blocker. The offense will continue to run through a healthy Derrick Henry, but Woods could go down as one of the best moves any team made this offseason.” - With Tom Brady returning to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Denver Broncos pulling off a blockbuster trade for Russell Wilson, both teams jumped the Titans in the rankings, leading to their falling two spots. - On top of trading for Woods, the Titans also made a significant signing when they brought in Austin Hooper, who provides the upgrade at tight end that Tennessee desperately needed. - Now, the Titans have to focus on the offensive line, where they have needs at both guard and tackle, assuming they aren’t completely confident in Aaron Brewer and/or Dillon Radunz. - We suspect the Titans will attack at least one of those positions in the 2022 NFL draft, as well as add to wide receiver and tight end. Of course, free agency is another avenue to improve those spots, but there aren’t many options left. - - RelatedTitans trade up, select QB Sam Howell in NFL.com mock draftTitans have top-30 visit scheduled with TE Trey McBrideThe sneaky aspect of Robert Woods’ game that can elevate Titans’ offense - - List - - Breakdown of possible Titans draft target, OG Zion Johnson - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Titans Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Titans Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
